Jewell Ann Landrum has been diagnosed of a rare form of malignant apocrine gland carcinoma. She underwent surgery to remove the tumor that was unfortunately unsuccessful. There are still positive margins according to the cancer institute. They have removed all they can without major reconstruction of the periurethral area . She is now healed up from the surgery and will be starting radiation treatments on the 24th of feb. to kill the remaining cancer. She will under go 5 weeks of 5 days per week radiation treatments to the full pelvic area. After the initial 5 weeks of treatment to the entire pelvic area the beam will be narrowed up to a direct beam radiation on the cancer itself for an additional 2 weeks of 5 day per week treatment. This will hopefully go smoothly, but, if it doesn't she will end up having to rest in between treatments. That's if it becomes too painful or irritated. We pray she comes thru this with ease and no ill side effects from treatment. Your purchase of a raffle ticket will be greatly appreciated.
